Three relatively young historians teach history in an entertaining and light-hearted manner.
He provides in-depth, humorous commentary on people, regions, and events from both Japanese and world history.
For example, Spartan education is something that would never be possible today.
The country from which the word originates, Sparta, is a country so Spartan that even Spartan education pales in comparison.
You can learn fascinating things about Sparta, who defeated the Persian army with just 300 men, as depicted in the movie "300."

- The state of Sparta had no choice but to go to war.
・The king hardly ever gets involved in politics. He just fights wars.
- Babies are killed when they are born if they have no chance of growing strong.
-Boys are forcibly separated from their parents at the age of 7 and forced to train in combat in harsh conditions.
・Just training. Being strong was the only right thing to do.
This is why the food in Sparta is so bad. They have no interest in anything other than fighting and training.
If you get sick or injured, you will be killed.
- To be recognized as a warrior at the age of 20, a man must bring the head of a slave.
-When their children go to war and are killed in action, parents go to see the bodies.
- Parents will be happy if the corpse has many wounds, but will be disappointed if there are only a few.
・Retirement is permitted at age 60. Therefore, soldiers must continue fighting on the battlefield until they are 60 years old.
・Women who looked strong were also popular.
